Boats and oars

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks smiled and looked over to frides leaning over the rail near him. "Echo dolls" He said lost in thought for a moment . "I'd be willing to help with that, if that's something you really wish to pursue. Been taking art lessons lately at the comunity center, so I can help with all the fine details. They can skitter, and stuff. It'll be cool" He looked from frides to the open sea, and then back to Frides. He honestly liked to look at her more than the horizon. He had seen what was over very horizon but he couldn't see what would lie ahead for the two of them "How you enjoying the boat Tursac?"

[Tursac Fescarn]

"She 'andles well Mister Jaks" he calls out as he watches the horizon before him "she takes the wind an' rides the waves like somethin' outta lore" he chuckles. "His own ship has a smooth clip to it but still had bumpy patches here an there. This would likely be no different. But the ship did indeed handle well and responded to what he did with relative ease. he couldn't wait to get it out in the deep waters and really get some fishing done once he had all the proper equipment set up "Aye she's a fine ship"

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide lit up at Jak's suggestion. "Yes Echo dolls. better than figures because they'll be fully automated. We can get people excited about such a great god and at the same time fund our projects." the alchemist smiled over at Tursac. "Im glad you like it, im also glad i got to see more of Mr Jaks in action!"

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks smiled, Frides was right. It was a great thing for echo because it spread his name, but it was also great for funding the more expensive projects he could build but didn't have the money to. He smiled at Tursac "Glad you enjoy it man, Id be sad If ya didn't" Jaks looked around for a moment before Frides talked about seeing him in action."That was noting, I had all the time in the world to do that, combat repairs are where I can really shine. After all, keeeping red lion in the air after a flak barrage isn't easy."

[Tursac Fescarn]

While he guided the ship, his gaze shifted from the water to the pair. The way they talked about their work was how he felt about his fishing. But he understood so little of it and try as he might he was lost in translation trying to understand what they were talking about. He gives a smile at Jaks as he turns to say he was glad that his project was appreciated so highly and chuckles before pulling out his golden compass and looks at their direction as he set it on the helm in front of him "that's better. Feels more like 'ome now"

[Frideswide Seys]

Frides gasped. "so youve been in arial battles? Oh you have to tell me all about it." She looked to the cheerful engineer, matching his zeal with ease. "Tursac, find us a really good fishing spot okay?" Frides remembered the old times an she was glad she could still have tursac as a friend.

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks chuckled " Yeah I have been in dog fights. One time I had my left engine shut out and I started to take a dive, but I had fired my My grappling into the other ship slowing my drop and pulling the enemy down with myself. I had just managed to get the engine repaired in time before pulling a verticle U-turn and slamming their ship into the ocean. Although most of my fights take place on decks or sea to air combat. Not many people have an air ship that can take my frontal cannon or acid bombs. " As much as Jaks loved to recall his war stories, he would love to fish more. So he pulled out his rod and hoped he could catch to impress.

[Tursac Fescarn]

Tursac sailed just out of sight of the shoreline and furls the sail, weighing anchor to keep the drift down on their spot at sea "This looks like a good place. He grabs a rod and looks down at the water and casts out. "This is nice." he sighs in contentment one the line's out. "This is the life. No war... no noise... Jes you an' the sea." he looks over at Fride for a moment with a smile, almost wishing things had been different between them. But if that had been the case, he'd never have met Amore and her sister. Then he looks back at the water "the water's dark an' deep 'ere"

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide looked at Jaks ashe wove his tale all wide-eyed. she was so busy with her own projects that she couldnt always be out in the world exploring and adventuring but it didnt mean se didnt occasionally feel the itch to get out there. "I would love to witness something like that for myself." She peered over the ship where Jaks and Tursac cast their lines. "If either of you find fish with interesting parts, i can give them too you you know."

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks cast out into the water and waited. "I can take you along for a raid if ya really want. Would be nice to have someone watching my back that isn't tring to also stab me there" It would be interesting to take Frides out on a raid. He had never thought of her as a fighter and wondered if she could handle herself in one. Soon his mind was filled with ideas about proper positioning of her in a combat situiation depending on her combat abilities when he felt a tug on his line. "Holy shit I have one and it is pretty big!" Jaks began to arch his back and reel in quickly, tugging up every so often.

[Tursac Fescarn]

Tursac smiles as he listened to the two talk. He was more focused on his line though but he turns to Jaks as he comments on having something on his line "Pull it in lad. Lessee what the sea is providin' us t'day" he then felt a powerful tug on his own line and gives it a second to take before jerking his pole and setting the hook "Gotcha" and soon he was fighting his own battle with whatever was on the end of his line

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide nodded. "When my homunculus is done ill be good to go, i can make it watch the shop and come with you. Oh !" she jumped when both men hooked something. "Ah come on guys real them in, i want to see what you got!" Frideswide rarely gave herself time to have fun so this was just exceptionally fun for her.

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks was fighting for what seemed like ages, but in actuality it was like 5 minutes before he pulled a fair sized tuna from the rough blue water. "Not the biggest thing I've caught but i do have to say i was forTUNAte that i was able to get this on such short notice and preperation." He chuckled to himself and had decided he currently was holding dinner. " Who wants Tuna guys? I'll cook up a meal you will most likely forget !" he chuckled again an placed the tuna in it's holding chamber until they were ready to eat, and gazed over at Tursac wondering what he had.

[Tursac Fescarn]

What took Jaks 5 minutes was taking the veteran sailor over twice as long to reel his own prize. He spent nearly 10 minutes before he finally caught a glimpse of what was on the the end of his line as a large sail fin crested out above the water before the large sailfish finally broke the water, nearly 15 feet long with a sharp spear-like nose. It plunged back down under the water and he grunts "boy oh boy... Been a while since I 'ad a catch like this" he glances over at Jaks "We'll eat tuna t'night an' sell this sucker in market aye?" he grins before focusing back on the fish which was constantly trying to yank the rod from his hands. "This 'ne's a fighter fer sure"

[Frideswide Seys]

Jaks was immediately enveloped in a frides-hug as the woman was quite excited about the catch, "Oh i love Tuna steak. My old friend Akusai used to cook them at his place, Tursac remembers. I cant wait to see how you prepare it!" she finally released him all smiles and sweetness. When tursac took his took reeling in his prize she snatched Jaks's hand and tugged him to the rail so they could watch."A marlin wow, it looks like you still have it tursac."
